Mine has taken a lickin' and kept tickin' some 20 years, it's built into my
microwave oven, I've not seen a microwave oven yet that doesn't have a built
in timer. I've another built into my cook stove... WTF does anyone need a
stupid little timer that will probably get lost in a drawer each time you
need it.
